Kilnbridge manages fleet via Webfleet

Kilnbridge Construction Services is utilising Webfleet, Bridgestone’s fleet management solution, to cut fuel usage and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

The specialist structures, construction and engineering operator is introducing the Webfleet video solution across its fleet of 140 heavy goods vehicles (HGV) and vans.

Mick Kemp, fleet manager at Kilnbridge Construction Services, said: “With Webfleet’s automated CO2 reporting, we can now analyse all vehicle trips to find out how environmentally friendly they were. By feeding accurate fuel and CO2 data for our whole fleet, and individual vehicles, into our sustainability reviews, we are able to measure progress towards carbon neutrality and help maintain our FORS Gold operator accreditation.”

Kilnbridge is also using Webfleet Video to capture road and driver-facing events.

“The in-cab AI cameras highlight unsafe driving behaviour, such as not wearing a seatbelt or mobile phone use,” Kemp added, “to both protect engineers and keep us compliant by delivering on our duty of care.”

Furthermore, indisputable video evidence is helping Kilnbridge to counter false claims and keep a lid on insurance costs.

”A rear end collision claim which would have cost us £48,000 was neatly debunked using high quality video which captured all the accident details and proved third party liability,” Kemp continued.

The company is currently trialling the Webfleet Vehicle Check mobile app to digitise daily vehicle inspections. The app minimises paperwork and streamlines the compliance process, allowing Kilnbridge to act quickly to resolve vehicle defects for safer operating conditions.

“Having the driver app, cameras and telematics all integrated on the same platform makes life so much easier for us,” Kemp concluded.
